Ruby land in 2000
Latest update:
In the year 2000 I was still using Windows 98 SE & thinking about
upgrading to a glistening Windows 2000. Being in the late teens, I had
never heard about neither Linux nor Ruby. My favourite language of
choice was (Visual) C++.
Meanwhile in Japan:
$ wc -l < ruby-land-in-2000.txt
122
.txt file is a list of "who's who" that I dug up from
archive.org. Each line in the file represents
a maintainer or a participant.
Looking through the list it isn't terribly hard to notice that the
vast majority of folks in it are Japanese. Those, whose names didn't
sound like Nipponese, I prefixed with an asterisk.
$ grep ^\* ruby-land-in-2000.txt | wc -l
8
Times sure have changed.
